While there is some news coverage of his desire to change names and religions, this appears to be a case of BLP1E. Being in the news for being switched at birth and the religion issues does not appear to be encyclopedically notable if it hasn't actually created new legal precedent.

- Keep. Although this may seem to be a minor thing, it did get quite a bit of coverage in media around the world. The case has the potential for causing major change in Malaysia, which is what pushes me to say keep.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - possibly important precedent. Bearian (talk) 20:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't see that something that potentially or possibly might cause precedent (no evidence that this is even close) isn't a clearcut crystal balling issue. An article can always be re-created if and when it does set precedent. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 00:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. It's close to being merely a news item, but I think there is just enough here to justify an article. The fact that he is received coverage for two separate attributes (for being switched at birth and for attempting to convert in a country where that is illegal) is just enough to convince me that this is more than a simple case of BLP1E.--Kubigula (talk) 04:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
